Please read my episodes, 53-119 plus the OVA of Code Lyoko to know what is going on. Oh and Code Xana the Movie and Episode 1-126
The group is on Lyoko confused. Sanne was in the other world but now back in hers, maybe. Or was she in another world? "Ok, every one, what was your last memory?" Dante goes first.
"I was sending people to Lyoko. Then I used the auto transfer to send myself as Naia and Ark prepared to transfer energy from the asteroid impact to the Super Computer."
"Same here," everyone but Skitz say this.
"I was with Barack in his room doing um, homework."
"Sure you were." Mira goes over to Barack and holds his hand. "But um, what is going on?"
"I have an idea." Everyone turns towards Sanne. "I, Dante I've told you about the other world."
"Yes, is this it?"
"No. I just left that one. This is our world but a little different. Skitz is still in our group. She was never sent back to America."
"Wait why would I be sent back to America?"
"Drugs."
"But, I only did a little and I stopped, we stopped. Right Barack?"
"Uh, yes we did. I guess in your world."
"My world?" Skitz is still confused but Barack has an idea now.
"Sanne said something about another world. I'm guessing she means like an alternate reality right?"
"I guess. I don't know what it is really."
"Well if there is this world and the world you just came back from maybe there are other worlds. There could be two more, three more, a dozen more. There could be a hundred more."
"Billions. I mean, the difference from the other world was I was in a jet crash on the way to Kadic Academy. In her world," Sanne points at Skitz. "The difference seems to be she quit drugs. What if the world splits, at every change? Maybe a world where I wanted to train and another where I didn't. A world where I chose franks and beans for dinner and another I chose turkey and potatoes."
"Or a world where my aunt never let me come. Or a world where I was in a jet crash like you were on my way to Kadic Academy." Barack caught on fast to Sanne's idea. "But that doesn't explain her." Barack points at Skitz.
"Wait but, you mean, you and I aren't dating in your world?" Skitz is confused even more.
"Not in this world." Mira answers for Barack. "But what if the other Skitz is still in this world? Or did we land in her world and there are like other versions of us? Or did we take their place?" Mira's head starts to hurt even on Lyoko.
"I replaced myself but she didn't go anywhere." Everyone turns to Sanne and listens. "I, she was there kind of. In my head. She could see and hear what I did but it didn't happen until like a couple months after I was there."
"Wait you were there for months?" Sanne nods. "How much time has passed here?" Sanne shrugs her shoulders. "I'll send you and Krieger back. You can go out and see how much has changed. Try and find out if there are other versions of us or Skitz or whatever is going on." Dante goes into the Tower and sends Sanne and Krieger back to Earth.
Sanne is about to hit herself. She was blind in her world. What good would she be? In the confusion of coming back no one thought of that. When the Scanner doors open she is surprised. "Krieger?"
"Yes, what?"
"I can see." It took a second for Krieger to realize what that meant.
"Wait you, you can see?" Sanne nods. "That's amazing!" Krieger hugs and kisses Sanne hard. Sanne hugs and kisses him back as tears form in her eyes.
"I can see. I, I guess it's a good thing the worlds merged."
"Yes it is." Krieger kisses Sanne again tenderly this time. "We have to go." Sanne and Krieger leave the Factory and hear a loud noise. A car drives by and is making the noise. "What is that? No car sounds like that." Another car drives by. They start to cough.
"What's wrong with the air?" Krieger coughs again.
"I don't know." Sanne gets her Jcell out and dials the number for Odd. "Odd? Where's Skitz?"
"Here, why? If you want to talk to her I'll get her. She's in her room. Did you try her phone?"
"Um, yeah, just uh, never mind." Sanne hangs up on Odd. "She's there. The Skitz on Lyoko is um, not right."
"Are we sure she's Skitz? She could be a trick by Naia." Krieger coughs again. "What is wrong with the frakking air!?" The loud noises from the cars were also getting on his nerves.
"I don't know. Um, we should take the streets so like we know what's going on." Sanne and Krieger cross the bridge and walk away from the Factory.
They walk by a Hydrocell station. No, it wasn't Hydrocell. "What the frak?" Sanne and Krieger stare. "Seven Euros for a liter of Hydrocell?"
"Sanne the sign doesn't say Hydrocell." Sanne looks again.
"Petroleum? But, that stuff was banned in 2021. No car runs off of that now." Krieger turns and looks as a car drives by.
"Maybe that's why they're so loud."
"Huh?"
"They aren't Hydrocell cars. They're petroleum cars."
"And that explains the air." Sanne coughs hard. "We're used to clean air. The carbon and fumes from petroleum hasn't been around for years in our world." Krieger looks at the buildings trying to see other changes.
"But we are in our world aren't we? Skitz is in America."
"We are in both worlds I think. They merged together. Maybe tearing holes in the space time continuum by Naia and Ark did this."
"But um, other worlds. What if they all merge together?"
"I don't know. Naia and Ark may undo existence. I'm sure in one of the worlds there is nothing."
"Wait but why would that happen? We haven't done that."
"It isn't just us. Frak billions of worlds try an infinite amount. More then an infinite. Try infinite squared, cubed." Sanne's mind spins as she tries to comprehend this. "One where Germany won WWII. One where Einstein staid in Germany and helped Hitler make the bomb. One where the south won the Civil War in America. One where the British won the War of 1812. One where Napoleon won his war. One where you weren't born or I wasn't born and stuff. Frak one, billions because each one is affected in a different way. There could be an infinite cubed times infinite cubed times infinite cubed different worlds out there."
"We need to um, go back to Kadic. I wonder how much that has changed." The two continue to Kadic Academy. They tried to run but the air was so dirty they had to stop and cough a lot.
At Kadic Academy there is a new building. It was the Principal's house and made that clear with a big sign on the front. Principal Delmas No Students! "She's still the principal here?" Sanne and Krieger look around more.
Dante sends Mira back and she calls Sanne. "Sanne, what does it look like?"
"It's different. Um, lots of changes. But tell Dante to tell Skitz to stay there or something. She, um, isn't here. Well, she is but not her our Skitz is."
"Wait, what?"
"Just wait for us to come back." Sanne and Krieger go to the dorm building. "We'll be back." Sanne hangs up on Mira.
"Sanne I'll go to my room, go to yours."
"We'll meet at the staircase." Sanne and Krieger split apart.
Sanne goes to her room and finds Zen lying on the bed. "Hi Zen um, yeah."
"Hey." Zen ignores Sanne.
"Um, notice anything different?" Zen looks at Sanne.
"You dyed your hair pink."
"What? No, um, wait." What? I dyed my hair? What is my normal hair color in this world? Sanne looks around the room and sees a picture of her and her friends. "I'm the Blue Haired One?" There she was smiling, her arm around Krieger. Her hair was a bright blue, almost neon.
"What?"
"Nothing Zen." Sanne leaves the room and goes to the staircase. Soon Krieger comes down.
"Any changes?"
"Um, I don't have pink hair in this world." Krieger is confused.
"But your hair is pink."
"No I mean this Sanne. Her hair is blue. I saw a picture and Zen said I dyed my hair pink."
"Oh. Um, nothing different in my room. Still no Ark so I guess he didn't change."
"I guess not." The two leave the dorm building and go back to the Factory to tell the others.
At the Factory the group has a meeting in the Control Room. "Skitz, you have to stay here." Skitz looks at Sanne.
"But, classes and stuff."
"You don't have them. The other Skitz is in America. You can't be seen or questions will be asked."
"But, but, I don't want to stay here."
"You can stay on Lyoko or use my stuff and I'll stay on Lyoko." Skitz looks at Dante.
"But I want to go back."
"You can't!" Everyone flinches. "I'm sorry. Um, Skitz did you notice anything strange about me?"
"No, should I?"
"Blue hair?"
"Why would you have blue hair?" Sanne gulps.
"Um, that means more then two worlds have merged." Sanne starts to worry more. "Skitz, in your world do you have Hydrocell?"
"Huh? Heard about that in the news. Some new fuel thing they are trying to start up or something."
"So petroleum is normal for you?"
"Yeah, isn't it for you?" Sanne and the others shake their head. "Oh."
"Um, Ms. Delmas is still principal in your world?"
"What? No Mr. Delmas is."
"Ok, that's different." They continue to talk and try to figure out all the changes they would have to deal with.
Naia is just as confused and interested. She keeps watching but struggles. Her energy was so low she felt like she was going to pass out. "I need a return. A few of them really. I'm so weak." Naia sparks with energy as she struggles.
Nearly three hours later the group, minus Dante and Skitz, are going back to Kadic Academy. Everyone notices how hard it is to breath. But they make it back to find it was close to curfew. "We better hurry." The group runs to the dorm building and get to their rooms.
The next day they go to classes. It isn't until now that they notice something. It was early November! Skitz should have still been with them since she wasn't sent home until near May. This makes Sanne worry more. They knew at least three worlds had merged together. How many others had? Would they keep merging or would they go back to normal? Sanne didn't know and was getting a headache thinking about it.
After school they had homework but Sanne wanted to check on Dante and Skitz. She takes the sewers to the Factory. On the way her head spins. When it stops the sewer was different. "What's going on?" She sees an ethereal image of her and others. No, it wasn't her was it? This person had pink hair but their skin was black. Her head spins again and when it stops things were normal. "I was seeing things. After being blind so long it probably a shock to my eyes." Sanne continues to the Factory and goes down to the Control Room. "Dante?" He is in the computer chair. "Where's Skitz?"
"She went to the store nearby to use the facilities."
"Are you sure? If she's seen by someone from Kadic it will cause chaos." Sanne worries until she hears the elevator run and Skitz comes down.
"Oh, hi Sanne."
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah, mostly. This sucks though. I want a nice warm bed not his cot."
"So you slept here?" Skitz nods.
"I went to Lyoko for a few hours." Dante leans back in the computer chair. "But I don't know how long we can keep this up."
"What do you mean?" Skitz is confused.
"I'm sorry Skitz but the next time you go out you might try and do something. Or you might be seen by someone."
"I, I promise I won't go any where. I don't need to be like, arrested or anything. I don't know you said I was a druggie in your world."
"You aren't. The first time, um, you still weren't. Ark and Naia set you up in our world."
"Wait, Ark and Naia? Who, what? What about Xana?"
"Wait, Ark and Naia aren't in control in your world?"
"No, where is my brother? Oh gods in all the mess I forgot about him." Skitz starts to breathe hard, her heart beats faster. "I, what happened to him?" She sits down as her head starts to spin.
"Ark joined Naia. Dante you didn't tell her anything?"
"I didn't think to."
"But, no. What about my Ark?"
"I don't know. And if in your world there was Xana then maybe he is here. Maybe Naia and Ark didn't come back."
"You're half right!" Naia appears. "I came back, he didn't."
"What, how do you know?" Sanne backs away as the Super Scan beeps finding the activated Tower.
"I killed him! I took his energy and killed him!"
"No, you, you couldn't have." Skitz is about to cry.
"Cower before me, surrender! Or I will kill, no, not you. I'll attack the outside world!"
"No way Naia." Naia smiles. She had been bluffing. Activating the Tower had been hard for her.
"Then you better hurry." Naia turns into a black mist and goes to Lyoko. She had to prepare her monsters.
"Skitz, wait, you don't have their numbers do you?"
"I do."
"Oh, so Mira and Barack are members in your world?"
"Well yeah Barack and I are a couple and stuff. Well, we were." Sanne sees the look on Skitz's face.
"I'm sorry Skitz. I, I'm sure you'll find someone if we aren't able to fix the merging or whatever." Sanne gets her Jcell out. "Call Krieger I'll call Barack." Sanne and Skitz make their calls and soon the others are coming to the Factory.
Dante sends everyone and the vehicles. He uses the auto transfer to send himself. Now there is a problem, huge group and small amount of vehicles. "Mira and Barack on the Overboard."
"Um, I use that." Skitz was already next to it.
"Ok, um, Mira and Skitz on the Overboard. Barack and Dante on the Overwing. Krieger on the Overbike and I'll use my wings." Sanne focuses on her energy… and can't find it. "Frak."
"What wings?" Skitz's words terrify Sanne.
"I, I don't have my powers here?"
"What powers?"
"Frak." Sanne shakes her head. "I'll ride with Krieger." Sanne gets on the back of the Overbike and wraps her arms around Krieger. She looks over at Skitz wondering what else was different in her world when she notices Skitz didn't have clubs or a spear. Instead she was dressed more like Barack. She had camouflage on but she didn't have a BFK or a laser gun. Instead she had a large bow. "Skitz, how does your weapon work?" Skitz puts a hand on the string of the bow and an arrow appears.
"Like this." Skitz fires the arrow and it explodes. "Sorry I wanted to use something flashy." She smiles. "I can use regular arrows to."
"Wait, like Odd with his laser arrows?"
"Yep."
"We need to deactivate the Tower." Dante and the others take off for the activated Tower.
Naia sends Kankrelats and Blocks to guard the activated Tower. "I should make an appearance but as weak as I am they might kill me." Naia watches from a distance knowing she was giving up the activated Tower. She needed the return to the past to make herself stronger.
The warriors see the activated Tower and the guards. "Kankrelats and Blocks? What game is she playing?" Sanne looks around. "No Degameath?"
"No what?" Skitz had never heard of a Degameath.
"Giant monster Ark and Naia made." Krieger gets his sword and shield out. "It could be a trick. Dante stay back."
"This is going to suck." Sanne was used to having her powers. She was used to flying around and crushing Naia's monsters. She was thinking about what Naia said. Naia said she killed Ark. She stole his power and killed him. Naia was a murderer. She hadn't killed anyone until now. Maybe she should stop wasting her time trying to save Naia and try to find a way to kill her.
"Let's go." Mira jumps off of the Overboard and lands on the Sector below. She gets her Kodachi out and runs at the monsters.
"Sanne I'm going to leap off. Take control." Krieger stands up on the Overbike. "Super Leap!" He lunges at a Block. It fires a freeze beam. Krieger puts up his shield and blocks the freeze beam. He slams into the Block hitting the Eye and destroying it. His shield was frozen and he throws it at another Block but it is weighed down and lands in front of the Block.
"Stealth." Mira disappears and goes to attack.
"Fire!" Skitz shoots an arrow and it burst into flames! When it lands in front of three Kankrelats the fire shoots out and lands on one Kankrelat destroying it.
"Wow, cool." Sanne drives the Overbike around. She tries to fire an energy beam but nothing comes out. "Frak. Skitz what does your Sanne do to attack?"
"She does this singing thing. It like, changes the landscape like how Aelita used to but not as much. I don't know how it works."
"Sing? I can't sing." Sanne thinks. "I guess I can try." She tries to think of a song to sing. She decides to try the first note from Amazing Grace and try to make a hole under the two remaining Blocks. "Ahhhhhhh…" She closes her eyes and concentrates on the note. She makes it higher pitched, and then lowers it not sure if it was working. "Aaaa!" An energy beam shoots out. "I still have my attacks it just takes more to bring it out." Without her energy it would take more. "Aaaa!" Sanne fires an energy beam at a Block and destroys it.
"Got it!" Mira attacks the two remaining Kankrelats and destroys them leaving one Block left.
"Well I have to do something." Barack fires lasers at the Block. It fires a fire ring at him but misses. Barack aims and fires hitting the Eye. "Well, who goes in?" Dante jumps off.
"You all did work I have to do some too." Dante goes into the Tower and deactivates it. Soon he launches a return to the past.
Sanne is back at Kadic Academy walking through the woods. This world was a lot more different than she thought. With out her powers she was at risk. They always saved her life. On Lyoko and on Earth. With out them she is scared. "Ow, what the frak?" Her head starts to pound and spin. She falls to her knees then hears shouts. She looks around and sees… Her? She is with a taller boy and they had guns! Real big ones. Two big robots were chasing after them firing lasers. "What is this!? Are we merging with another world!?" She runs after the robots and the other her. She watches as the robots seem to corner her and the other boy. She gets a closer look. "It isn't Krieger, or Dante. Who is that?" Sanne watches as the boy and the other her shoots at the robots and destroy them. "Wow, I'm badass." Sanne laughs a little then feels her head explode.
A couple minutes later she wakes up on the ground. "Ow." She sits up. "What the frak was that? Was it another world?" She shakes her head. "Naia and Ark really frakked up. If the worlds merge like they already have we could all be destroyed." Sanne gets up and walks back to the dorm building. She hears a couple noises that couldn't be there. She sees more things. Just flashes, images, of other worlds.
A/N Ha, I made it early November to keep the show going a little longer, lol. And of course the scene she saw at the end was from Code Naia The Resistance.
